A Powerful New Way to Naturally Promote Healthy Blood Lipid Levels
Red yeast rice is the fermented production on which red yeast (Monascus purpureus) has been grown. The rice and yeast, which is deep red in color, are ground up into a red powder. Among many other things, red yeast rice extract contains at least nine substances that are similar in structure to the active ingredients in statin drugs. These substances inhibit the activity of the enzyme necessary for production of cholesterol in the body. Red yeast rice extract has HMG-CoA (menvinolin) reductase inhibitors. These inhibitors may block the enzyme responsible for making cholesterol in the body. When this synthesis is stymied, the body simply produces less LDL(bad) cholesterol, measurably reducing its presence in the blood. In addition, red yeast may raise HDL(good) cholesterol to more desired levels. Increases in HDL levels boost cardiovascular health since HDL cholesterol helps eliminate LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
